On September 25, 2026, Nikola Jovanović, a Partizan supporter, was severely injured in a targeted ambush outside the Belgrade Arena following an EuroLeague game. A group of approximately ten men dressed in black reportedly attacked Jovanović, causing serious injuries including cracked ribs and a broken finger. He required emergency surgery to remove his spleen due to internal bleeding risks.
